Home study and homework
Regular and effective home study is essential for success at high school. Home study includes homework, study and additional reading and research on the topics being treated at school. Students must plan their home study to include continuous revision and preparation for examinations. For most school days students will have some form of homework or preparation. Parents are asked to help ensure that this work is carried out, as failure to do so will affect the progress of their child.

Students should use the diary provided by the school to organise their homework and study program. Parents can help by encouraging the use of the diary. If a student says that there is no set homework, parents can encourage the student to revise the day's work or a particular topic or to read ahead.

Queries about homework should be directed to the head teacher in charge of the subject or the year adviser. For the relevant names see the page headed Staff.

As a general guide study times for the average student should be:

Year 7 & 8 45mins- 1.0 hour per night

Year 9 & 10 1.0 - 2.0 hours per night

Year 11 & 12 2.0 - 3.0 hours per night
